Flau'jae Johnson Talks About Her Assignment Of Defending Iowa Star Caitlin Clark

Looks just like Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

Considering she's a freshman, this young lady has played very well in the tournament. She's not lighting it up on the scoreboard but her defense and rebounding have been outstanding!

I have not ever seen anybody, male or female, who can shoot as quick as Ms. Clark. There are times she shoots while running and it is nothing but net. Gonna be tough for anyone but if any team can do it, it is the LSU Tigers.

We have seen all-world shooters get completely bottled up against LSU in the past, like when Garrett Temple smothered JJ Redick from Duke, but I don’t know if Duke ran 762 screens for him to shoot it every trip down.

It’s frustrating to defend a team that has all five players constantly moving, constantly setting screens all over the floor. Seems like every trip down Iowa runs 6-7 screens until the ball winds up in Clark’s hands and she can act like Steph Curry with a deep three (and has a quick pull up at that) or slash to the rim.

It’s gonna be tough but Mulkey has to have this team disrupt those screens, especially the ones on the other side of the court. They all facilitate getting-the-ball-to-Clark.

John Thompson had a rule at Georgtown. NO freshman talk to press.

Wow, it's like y'all actually listened to Flau'jae talk about it.

The pick and roll with #25 must be contained. Caitlin and #25 are insanely good at it. #25 had 18 against SC and never dribbled. That's what they need to stop. You're not going to stop Caitlin from scoring, no one can. Stop them from running that pick and roll and we win.

Flo will need assistance in the paint. The outcome is directly proportional to how well they defend the impressive player of the year. And she is a great passer too.

It is going to take all five on the floor to slow Clark down. We know about her three point game, but her ability to get to the rim against SC was impressive.
